Moghrabieh-Traditional Plaestinian Dish-54Image by hisham_assaad
Maftoul is a Palestinian tradition that few know about and still do to this day. I remember the time when my grandmother used to make maftoul for the huge moghrabieh pot we cook. Mom and grandma (her mother-in-law) used to sit next to low tables with wide round shallow pots and roll the cracked wheat for hours with flour, yeast, water and oil till they get satisfactory pearls. They used to keep us busy while they work by giving us a pot with the ingredients and ask us to roll some. It was fun getting messy with our hands.
